Operation Warnings

Do not carry passengers

This snowmobile is designed for a single operator. 

Do not operate with intake silencer removed

NOTICE: If the engine is operated with the intake silencer removed, damage to 

the engine may occur. Do not operate the engine with the intake 
silencer removed.

Stay clear of track

Do not operate with drive chain guard removed

WARNING

During warm-up and operation, stand clear of the rotating track. Entanglement 
and serious injury or death may result. Use just enough throttle to rotate the 
track and warm up the engine.

WARNING

The drive chain guard is designed to protect the operator from metal parts in 
the event of a drive chain failure. Although the chance of failure is extremely 
remote, do not defeat the purpose of the guard by removing it. It is provided 
for the safety of the child.

Operation Warnings

Do not touch the engine after it's been running

Disabled operators

CAUTION

Hot components can cause serious burns to skin. Do not touch engine and 
exhaust parts after the engine has been running.

WARNING

Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and physi-
cal skills. Persons with cognitive or physical disabilities who operate this vehi-
cle have an increased risk of overturns and loss of control, which could result 
in serious injury or death.

ADULT SECTION

Operation Warnings

Check brake lever travel

Depress the brake lever fully. 
Measure the clearance between 
the lever and brake block. Clear-
ance should be no more than 3/4” 
(1.9 cm).

Excessive travel indicates a need 
to adjust the brake cable. Refer to 
the mechanical brake adjustment 
information on page 56.

Secure the hood

The hood of the snowmobile protects the operator from moving and hot 
parts as well as aiding in sound emission control and other functions. 
Never operate a snowmobile with the hood open or removed.

Check lights

Start the engine and ensure that both the headlight and taillight operate.

3/4" (19 mm)

ADULT SECTION

Operation Warnings

Check surroundings

Make sure the operation area is clear of obstacles and bystanders. Some 
sideways movement is possible when the snowmobile first begins to 
move, and debris may be thrown by the track. Teach the operator to 
check the operating area before riding.

Sit properly on the snowmobile

Operating a snowmobile requires skill and balance for proper control. 
An improper position can reduce the child's ability to control the snow-
mobile. The riding position may vary as the operator becomes more 
skilled, but under most conditions the proper position is to be seated 
with both feet on the running boards, in a comfortable position for 
proper throttle, brake and steering control.

WARNING

This snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track, which must be partially 
exposed for proper operation. Serious injuries may be caused by operator 
carelessness, resulting in hands, feet, hair or clothing becoming entangled in 
the track. Teach the child to respect this machine and all moving parts. Teach 
the child that being properly seated is the safest way to stay clear of the track.

WARNING

Never hold the snowmobile up or 
stand behind it while warming up 
the track. A loose track or flying 
debris could cause serious per-
sonal injury or death.
